Fun Weekend with the Houston's

Scott and Elizabeth have been so good about coming down to visit over the years and this year is no exception. They flew in late Friday night, but we were able to spend a few hours catching up before calling it a night. It was an early morning as we made our way to the soccer field in the 100 degree heat. So much for the first weekend of fall! Scott and Elizabeth must have been good luck charms as they cheered Taylor's team to a 7-2 victory and then we rushed over to Allison's game to watch her team win as well.
Then it was off to Lisa and Daniel's for a nice lunch and chance to visit. Sweet Olivia slept the whole time, but it was nice to chat for a while. We returned home to cool off in the pool and relax before they treated us to a very delicious birthday dinner at Lucille's BBQ. It was delicious! Thank you!

The Houston's seem to spoil us everytime they come down. This time the girls were showered with gifts including American Girl books, bookmarks and some fun cooking/science kits. Taylor spent this morning baking us some delicious banana chocolate chip muffins and they both had fun making some disgusting drink concoctions with Elizabeth using her Tasty Science kit. It was a nice relaxing day watching football and making homemade pizzas for lunch. Scott and the girls got a quick swim in before they packed up and headed to the airport. It is always a great visit and we only wish we could see them more often.
